Code Snippets Schema Reference

Provides a table of all of the IntelliSense Code Snippet XML schema elements with their available attributes and child elements.

IntelliSense Code Snippets are pre-authored pieces of code that are ready to be inserted into your application with Visual Studio. These code snippets increase productivity by reducing the amount of time spent typing repetitive code or searching for samples. You can use the IntelliSense Code Snippet XML schema to create your own Visual Basic, Visual C#, or XML code snippets and add them to the code snippets that Visual Studio already includes.
